Origin of Masonry , 



LlROM the commencement of the World we 
may trace the foundation of Masonry. Ever 
^^ since symmetry began, and harmony display- 
ed her charms, our order has had a being. 

During many ages, and in many different coun- 
tries, it has flourished. No art, no science preceded 
it. In the dark periods of antiquity, when litera- 
ture was in a low state, and the rude manners of our 
forefathers withheld from them that knowledge we 
now so amply share. Masonry diffused its influnce. 
This science unveiled, arts arose, civilization took 
place, and the progress of knowledge and philoso- 
phy gradually dispelled the gloom of ignorance 
and barbarism. Goverment being settled, authority 
was given to laws, and the assemblies of the Frater- 
nity acquired the patronage of the great and the 
good, while the tenets of the profession diffused un- 
bounded philanthropy. 

Abstracted from the pure pleasures which arise 
from friendship so wisely constituted as that which 
subsist among Masons, and which is scarcely possi- 
ble that any circumstance or occurrence can erase. 
Masonry is a science confined to no particular coun- 
try, but extends over the whole terrestrial globe. 
Wherever the arts flourish, there it flourishes too.

St. Louis Guide. 



Add to this, that by secret and inviolable signs, 
carefully preserved among the fraternity it becomes 
an universal language. Hence, many advantages 
are gained. The distant Chinese, the wild Arab, 
and the American savage, will embrace a brother 
Briton, and know that besides the common ties of 
humanity, there is still a stronger obligation to 
induce him to kind and friendly offices. 

The spirit of the fulminating priest will be tamed, 
and a moral brother, though of a different persua- 
sion, engage his esteem ; for mutual toleration in 
religious opinions is one of the most distinguishing 
and valuable characteristics of the craft. As all 
religions teach morality, if a brother be found -to 
act the part of a truly honest man, his private specu- 
lative opinions are left to God and himself. Thus, 
through influnce of Masonary, which is reconcilable 
to the best policy, all those disputes which embitter 
life and sour the tempers of men, are avoided; 
while the common good, the general object, is zeal- 
ously pursued. 

From this view of our system, its utility must be 
sufficiently obvious. The universal principles of 
the Art unite, in one indissoluble bond of affection, 
men of the most opposite tenets, of the most distant 
countries, and of the most contradictory opinions; 
so that in every nation a Mason may find a friend 
and in every climate a home.* 

Such is the nature of our institution, that, in the 
lodge which is confined to no particular spot, union 
is cemented by sincere attachment, and pleasure 
reciprocally communicated in the cheerful observ-

ance of every obliging office. Virtue, the grand 
object in view, luminous as tiie meridian sun, shines 
refulgent on the mind, enlivens the heart, and 
heightens cool approbation into warm sympthy and 
cordial .attention. Preston. 

* On this principle, unfortunate captives in war, and bo 
journers, accidentally cast on a dii^tant shore, are particular 
objects of attention, and seldom fail to exper ence indulgence 
from Masons; and it is very remarkable that there is not an 
instance on record of a breach of fidelity, or of ingratitude, 
where that indulgence has been liberally extended. 



GOVERNMEI^TT OF THE FrITERNITY. 



fllE mode of the government observed by the 
[|^ fraternity will give the best idea of the nature 
and design of the Masonic institution. 

Three classes are established among Masons, under 
different appellations. The priviliges of each class 
are distinct; and particular means are adopted to 
preserve these priviliges to the just and meritorious. 
Honor and probity are recommendations to the first 
class, in which the practice of virtue is enforced, 
and the duties of morality are inculcated : while the

This most exquisite of Toilet Preparations, the vir- 
tues of which have caused it to be in demand in all 
Civilized Countries, stands 

PRE-EMINENT FOR PRODUCING A 

SOFT AND BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION. 

It is acknowledged by thousands of ladies who have 
used it daily for many years to be the only preparation 
that does not roughen the skin, burn, chap, or leave 
black spots in the pores, or otlier discolorations 

All conclude by saying : "It is the best preparation 
for the skin I have ever used." "It is the only article 
I can use without making my skiu smart and rough. ' ' 
"After having tried every article, I consider your 
Medicated Complexion Powder the best, and I cannot 
do without it." Sold by all druggists and fancy goods 
dealers, or mailed free upon receipt of jirice, 5U cts. 
per box. Address J. A. POZZONI,

mind is prepared for a regular progress in the prin- 
ciples of knowledge and philosophy. Diligence, 
assiduity, and application, are qualifications for the 
second class, in which is given an accurate elucida- 
tion of science, both in theory and practice. Here 
human reason is cultivated by a due exertion of the 
intellectual powers and faculties ; nice and difficult 
theories are explained, new discoveries are pro- 
duced and those already known beautifully em- 
bellished . The Third Class is restricted to a selected 
few, whom truth and fidelity have distinguished, 
whom years and experence have improved, and 
whom merit and abilities have entitled to prefer- 
ment; with them the ancient landmark of the order 
are preserved, and from them we learn the necessary 
instructive lessons which dignify the art, and qualify 
the professor to illustrate its excellence and utility. 

Such is the established plan of the Masonic System. 
By this judicious arrangement, true Friendship is 
cultivated among different ranks of men, Hospitality 
promoted, Industry rewarded, and Ingenuity en- 
couraged. Preston.

MARTIN'S SHORT-HAND 

-AND— 

618-620 Olive St., ST. LOU S, MO. 

ESTABLISHED, MARCH, 1876. 

Instruction Psrsonally or by Mail. 

TRIAL WEEK FREE. 



This is the oldest Shorthand and Type- Writing 
School in St. Louis It is the largest, having an at- 
tendance equal to that of all the others combined 
It is the only one making a specialty of shorthand 
instruction, all others being Commercial Colleges 
in which Shorthand is regarded and taught as a side 
issue. It has a full corps of competent teachers, 
each having his or her special department; and is 
not conducted on the "Cheap John" basis adopted 
by many similar schools. It is now, as for the past 
ten years, under the management of Prof, R. Martin, 
whose entire attention is devoted to maintaining, 
and, if possible, increasing its efficiency. Its grad- 
uates are noted for the rapidity and accuracy of 
their work, and for their success in obtaining and 
holding lucrative positions as Stenographers and 
T^'pe- Writers. It is endorsed l:y the leading Steno- 
graphers and business men of this and other cities, 
who recommend it in preference to any other. 

All instruction is given individually, not in class, 
so that the pupil is advanced as rapidly as he de- 
sires, and his capacity permits. Graduatas are as- 
sisted to positions. 

Descriptive circulars, containing information of 
value to all intending students, free on application 
to 

R. MARTIN, Principal.

EDITED BY JOHN R. WILLIAMS. 



HISTORY. 



^fHE visitor to St. Louis sets foot in no city of 
recent establishment. The Great West may 
be new, but of the important cities of the 
country St. Louis is one of the oldest. Philadel- 
phia was founded only eighty years before, and 
Baltimore only thirty, and at the time of the first 
settlement in St. Louis, the sites of the other rep- 
resentative cities of the west, Cincinnati, Louisville 
and Chicago, were still slumbering in unbroken 
forest. 

The first white men who ever saw the spot on 
which the city now stands were a party of French- 
men, headed by Marquette and Joliet, who in two 
canoes floated down the Mississippi river early in 
July, 1673. This was the first exploration of the 
great river, though the Spaniard, De Soto, marching 
overland through the wilderness from Florida, had 
discovered it in 1541. In a few years after Mar- 
quette's voyage down the Mississippi, the French 
made settlements at several points along its banks. 
Kaskaskia, the oldest and most important of these 
settlements, sixty miles below St. Louis, was founded 
about 1685, nearly at the same time with Philadel- 
phia. Cahokia was settled a few years later. New 
Orleans began its growth in 1718. Thus while the

English settlements in America were limited to small 
strips along the Atlantic coast, the French, coming 
first by way of Canada and afterward New Orleans, 
had established settlements in the heart of the con- 
tinent and in the name of their king lay claim to. 
the whole country west of the Alleghenies. Of all 
European nations the French seemed best to har- 
monize with the Indian race. They made the red 
men their companions and in the dusky maidens of 
the forest not infrequently found wives. "While the 
children of the English settler east of the Alle- 
ghenies trembled at the name of the Pequod or 
Mohawk, the Frenchman a thousand miles farther 
in the wilderness slept at ease in same wigwam 
with the red warrior, or shared with him the same 
venison. 

Pierre Laclede Liquest, commonly called La- 
clede, began the building of the first house in St. 
Louis, on the 15th of February, 1764. He had pre- 
viously visited the place and selected it as the most 
advantageous point on the west bank of the river from 
which to carry on the fur trade. He brought with 
him a colony of thirty. The first building erected 
were on the block at Main and Walnut streets on 
which now stands Barnum's hotel. Several circum- 
stances conspired to give the place a healthy and 
substantial growth from the first. Important among 
these was the fact that the territory east of the 
Mississippi had been ceded to Great Britain in 1763- 
The French were patriotic, and not liking the idea 
of becoming English subjects, moved to the west 
side of the river, thinking thus to continue their 
allegiance to the king of France.

St. Louis Guide. 

By a secret treaty made in 1762, the country west 
of the Mississippi had, however, been transferred 
to Spain. In a few months the new village numbered 
sixty inhabitants. The French settlers were left to 
their own government till 1770 when a representa- 
tive of the Spanish government assumed authority. 
The records and documents prior to 1770 were in 
the French language; thereafter the Spanish was 
the official language till 1804, when the country 
west of the Mississippi, then, known as Louisiana, 
became part of the United States. In 1766 the 
number of inhabitants was probably not less than 
five hundred. Thereafter the population for 
several years increased slowly . Some of the wealthy 
inhabitants east of the river made the place their 
home after the passage of the ordinance of 1787 
prohibiting slavery in Illinois. The Revolutionary 
war of the Atlantic Colonies caused not a ripple of 
disturbance in St. Louis. In 1780 there was an 
Indian attack in which a few citizens at work in the 
fields near the present Fair Grounds were killed, 
and that year was thereafter known as L'annee du 
coup (the year of the attack.) L'annee des grandes 
eaux (the year of the great flood) was 1785. 1787 
was Dannee des dix bateaux (the year of the ten 
boats. These ten boats were armed and equipped 
at New Orleans, and ascended the Mississippi to 
clear the river of a large band of robbers and pirates 
who then had their headquarters at Grand Tower, 
and levied heavy tribute on passing commerce.

houses of the old French town were built on what 
are now known as Main and Second streets. The 
river front was then a lime stone bluff, ascended by 
only two roads, one at Market and the other at 
Morgan street. At Fourth and Walnut was a stone 
fort garrisoned by a company of soldiers, half 
French and half Spanish, and defended by eight or 
ten cannon, which the Spaniards took with them on 
their evacuation of the country after its cession to 
the United States. 

In 1801 Louisiana was ceded by Spain back to 
France, though the latter country made no attempt 
to take actual possession. In 1803 Napoleon sold 
it to the United States, and March 10, 1884, the 
formal transfer at St. Louis was made. There was 
little demonstration or show of interest on the part 
of the inhabitants, though as the one ensign was 
lowered from the flag staff, and the stars and stripes 
mounted in its place, Charles Gratiot is said to have 
called for three cheers, while Delassus, the old 
Spanish commandant, wept. The population at 
that time was nearly one thousand, and almost 
altogether French and Spanish . In 1809 the number 
of the inhabitants was about twelve hundred, among 
whom were few Americans, and these mostly 
attached to the government service. Two years 
later the population had increased two hundred. 
A traveler of that period writes, "It bids fair to 
become second to New Orleans in importance on 
this river," though at the same time it was observed 
that New Madrid was a more attractive spot to the 
emigration which had begun to floAv in from the 
eastward. Washington Irving who visited the 
place in 1810 says the population ' 'was more motley

than at Mackinaw. Here was to be seen about the 
river banks, the hectoring, extravagant boatmen of 
the Mississippi with the gay, grimacing, singing, 
good humored Canadian voyageurs. Vagrant Indians 
of various tribes loitered about the streets. Now 
and then a stark Kentucky hunter in leathern hunt- 
ing dress, with rifle on shoulder and knife in belt, 
strode along. Here and there were new brick 
houses and shops, just set up by bustling, driving 
and eager men of traffic from the Atlantic states, 
while on the other hand the old French mansions 
with open casements still retained the easy indolent 
air of the original colonists ; and now and then the 
scraping of a fiddle, a strain of ancient French song, 
or the sound of billiard balls showed that the happy 
Gallic turns for gayety and amusement still lingered 
about the place." 

A post office was established in 1804. The first 
newspaper was printed in 1808, and in 1816 the 
first bank incorporated. St. Louis was incorporated 
as a town in 1809, and in 1822 received its first city 
charter. In 1826 the present names were given to 
the streets. General Lafayette visited the city in 
1825, and a splendid ball was given in his honor at 
the Mansion House on the northeast corner of 
Third and Market streets. In the summer of 1836, 
Daniel Webster was the city's guest, and was feasted 
at a great barbecue in Lucas grove near the present 
Twelfth and Olive streets. The cholera beginning 
in 1848, swept away one- sixth of the native popula- 
tion. The great fire of 1849 destroyed one-third of 
the city and nearly the whole of its steam boat 
interests* The building of the Pacific railway, the

first railroad west of the river, was commenced in 
1851, and of the Ohio & Mississippi, the first railroad 
constructed on the east side, in 1852. 

The city began to grow steadily with the advent 
of steamboat transportation. The navigation of the 
river, especially up stream, had previously been 
dangerous and difllcult. The voyage by flat and 
keel boat from Pittsburgh to St. Louis was a matter 
of three month's time, and from New Orleans 
much longer. The keel boat passenger fare from 
New Orleans to St. Louis was about one hundred 
and twenty-five dollars, and freight was paid for at 
the rate of three dollars and a half per hundred 
pounds. When steamboats began running these 
charges Were reduced to one- fifth. The first steam- 
boat to reach St. Louis was the Zebulon M. Pike. 
The date was August 2, 1817.

street. It was called by the French La Orange de 
Terre (earth-barn). It was about thirty-five feet in 
heigt and one hundred and fifty in length. It was 
cut down and carted away in 1869 to form a railroad 
embankment. 

LOCAL NAMES. 

Cote Brilliante is the name of a district four 
miles northwest of the Court House through which 
Easton Avenue (or St. Charles Rock Road) runs as 
the principal thorouhfare. Carondelet is the south- 
ern part of the city, six miles below the Court House. 
It had formerly an independent city goverment and 
was consolidated with St. Louis in 1870. It is the 
seat of large iron manufacturing interests. Baden 
is six miles north of the city on the Bellefontaine 
Road. Lowel is near the Water Tower. Compton 
Hill is the elevated portion of the city west of La- 
fayette Park, and two miles and a half southwest of 
the Court House, and is a choice residence section. 
French town adjoins the French market less than a 
mile south of the Court House. Butchertown is 
north of Easton Avenue a few blocks west of Grand 
Avenue and abounds in slaughter houses. 

Kerry Patch was the name given a district 
between Seventeenth and Twentieth streets and 
Mullanphy and Biddle, settled about 1842 by Irish 
emigrants. This part of the city was then commons 
without street lines and the shanties were sprinkled 
about the patch promiscuously, all the occupants 
being squatters. The name still hangs to that 
section of the city. "Clabber Alley" runs north

and south from Franklin avenue to Bicldle street 
between Sixth and Seventh. It has many tenemet 
houses and a dense population of various colors and 
nationalities, and with "Wild Cat Chute" is one of 
the poorest quarters of the city. The latter place 
is an alley running north and south between Seventh 
and Eighth streets, and from Carr to Biddle, filled 
with tenements and peopled by a low class of negroes. 

THE CITY'S AREA. 

More than sixty-two square miles are embraced 
within the city limits of St. Louis, or nearly forty 
thousand acres. The length from north to south is 
seventeen miles, and six and five-eighths miles 
from east to west. It has a river front of eighteen 
and one-half miles. The wharf or levee is paved 
for three and one-half miles. 

THE BRIDGE. 

The great steel bridge which spans the Missis- 
sippi from Third street and Washington avenue is 
one of the chief features of interest about the city, 
and should be observed carefully as an object that 
has excited curiosity among scientific people both 
in this country and in Europe. To the traveler from 
the east a ride across it is his first item of acquaint- 
ance with the city. It is not, however, from the 
railway car that it should be seen and studied. 
From the Levee at about the foot of Olive street the 
structure best presents itselfto the eye. Here it can 
be seen as a whole, and from this point its beauty, 
strength and vastness are better comprehended. 
The roadway at the top should also be visited. On

a pleasant day, and particularly on a summer even-

and there is no better place from which the city 
itself can be studied. 

It was proposed to bridge the Mississippi at St. 
Louis as early as 1839, and the project was revived 
in 1848, 1853 and 1855. The company which built 
the bridge was organized in 1867, and from that 
time the work was pushed till its completion. The 
construction of the piers was commenced in 1868 
and finished in 1872. The piers rest on the bed- 
rock of the river. The west abutment is 112 feet 
high from its base, the west pier 172 feet, the east 
pier 197 feet and the east abutment 192 feet. At 
ordinary stage of the river one hundred feet in 
height of the east pier is below the surface of the 
water. The piers were built in caissons and sunk 
through the sand to t e rock at the bottom of the 
river. Beneath were chambers of compressed air in 
which a large number of workmen were employed. 
The pressure of the air in the air-chamber of the 
east pier reached sixty- five pounds to the square 
inch, or four and one-third times the normal pres- 
sure. The effect upon the workmen was very severe . 
Over one hundred men were violently attacked by 
cramps and chills, and thirteen died from this cause. 
The arches are made of steel tubes. The spans of 
the side arches are 502 feet in length, and the central 
span 520 feet. 

There are 2,393 tons of steel in the structure, and 
3,156 tons of wrought iron. It is estimated that if 
the roadway above should be packed with people, 
and the railway tracks below covered from end to

Altogether there are eighteen parks and squares 
belonging to the city and dedicated to the public use. 

FOREST PARK. 

This is the largest of the city parks, and con- 
tains 1,372 acres. It lies directly west of the centre 
of the city, four miles from the Court House, front- 
ing one mile on King's Highway. The act author- 
izing its establishment was passed by the legislature 
in 1874. The land comprising it was condemned 
and purchased at a cost of $79G,965. Eleven 
hundred acres were natural forest. The formal 
opening occurred June 25, 1876, on which occasion 
the bronze statue of Edward Bates was unveiled. 
The river Des Peres, a small stream, runs through 
the eastern part. It is a favorite resort for drives 
and picnic parties. A statue of Frank P. Blair was 
added to its attractions in 1885. The Laclede 
avenue street railway from Fourth and Market 
streets runs directly to the park, and it is also 
accessible by Wabash trains from the Union depot. 

LAFAYETTE PARK. 

Lafayette park is one of the oldest parks in the 
city, and nature and art have combined to make it 
one of the handsomest in the country. It is thirty 
acres in extent, and is one and a half miles south- 
west of the Court House between Mississippi 
and Missouri and Park and Lafayette avenues. It 
is in an elevated portion of the city, the height of 
the mound in the park above the city directrix at 
the river being 138 feet The ground comprising 
the park was formerly part of the old St. Louis 
commons, and was reserved for park purposes in 
the bill authorizing the sale of the commons in 
1835. Tne park was dedicated and established in 
1851, but little was done toward the adornment 
of the grounds till 1863. Since that time the im- 
provement has been rapid. Handsome walks, trees, 
grottoes, rustic bridges, fountains and flowers now 
make the place attractive. Here is a lake with boats

and water fowl. From a handsome music stand con- 
certs are regularly given in the summer. The bronze 
statue of Thomas H. Benton was cast at Munich from 
a design by Harriet Hosmer, and was unveiled by 
Jessie Benton Fremont, Benton's daughter, amid 
imposing ceremonies May 27, 1868. Its cost was 
thirty-six thousand dollars. The inscription "There 
is the East; there is India," is taken from a speech 
made at St. Louis in 1849 in favor of a railway to 
the Pacific. There is also in the park a copy of 
Houdon's statue of Washington. By reason of its 
easy access, its location in a built up portion of the 
city, and its attractions, this park is probably a 
place of more frequent resort than any other of the 
public pleasure grounds of the city. The blue cars 
of the Union Depot line from Fourth and Pine 
streets and the Lafayette avenue cars running south 
on Fourth street, are the best means of access. 

SCHNAIDER'S GARDEN. 

Schnaider's Garden is situated on Chouteau Ave. 
corner of Mississppi Ave., within two blocks of La- 
fayette Park. This is one of the oldest parks in the 
city, having been established by Mr. Joseph Schnai- 
der as early as 1869, and is now the favorite resort 
for the gay and fashionable people of the city, and 
a deli ght and wonder to visitors. Over one thous- 
and gas jets of varigated colors and arranged in 
beautiful shapes and fantastic designs, illuminate the 
grounds. Good music is always in attendance after- 
noons and evenings, and refreshments are served. 
TOWER GROVE PARK. 

Tower Grove Park is on Grand Avenue, extend- 
ing west to King's Highway, and between Magnolia 
Avenue and Arsenal street, three miles southwest

of the Court House, and is one of the chief attrac- 
tions to the city. It contains 277 acres. Its estab- 
lishment is due to the munificence of Henry Shaw, 
owner of Shaw's Garden, who in 1868 presented, 
under certain conditions the land embraced in the 
park, to the city. One of these conditions was that 
three hundred and sixty thousand dollars should be 
devoted by the city to the improvement of the 
ground as a public park. In 1870 the park was 
opened. Up to 1875 nearly half a million of dollars 
had been expended. The result is one of the most 
beautiful and attractive places of resort to be found 
in the country. The grounds have been arranged 
with much taste, and abound in indigenous and 
foreign shade trees, shrubs and flowers. Two chief 
features of interest are bronze statues of Shake- 
speare and Humboldt, both cast in Germany and 
costing together nearly one hundred thousand dol- 
lars. These were both gifts of Henry Shaw to the 
city. On the pedestal on which stands the Shake- 
speare statue are finely executed has reliefs of 
Shakespearian characters. The Humboldt statue 
represents the great naturalist at the age of thirty. 
On the sides of the granite pedestal are medallion 
views of Mount Chimborazo, which Humboldt was 
the first to ascend, and of the valley of the Amazon, 
and a portrait of Mr. Shaw. These statues were 
placed in the park in 1878. Shaw's Garden adjoins 
the western part of the park. There is music every 
Sunday afternoon during the summer. The Union 
Depot Line of cars from Fourth and Pine streets 
run to the park, and it can also be reached by the 
People's Railway running south on Fourth street,

Fourtli and Market. 

SHAW'S GARDEN. 

Though private property, Shaw's Garden (or the 
Missouri Botanical Garden) is one of the best known 
and most frequented points of interest about St. 
Louis. It is on Tower Grove avenue between 
Shaw and Magnolia avenues, three and three- 
quarters miles southwest of the Court House, and 
lies next to the western part of Tower Grove Park. 
The grounds are fifty acres in extent and form one 
of the finest places of the kind in the country. 
Every known variety of tree, plant and flower are 
here found. The residence of the owner, Henry 
Shaw, adjoinii the Garden. He is an Englishman 
by birth, has resided in St. Louis since 1819, and as 
a citizen of St. Louis has been most open-handed 
and liberal in his benefactions. The grounds are 
open to the public without charge on week days. 
Take Union Depot Line of cars from Fourth and 
Pine streets, fare five cents. By this route a walk 
across Tower Grove Park is necessary before reach- 
ing the grounds. From terminus of People's Rail- 
way line of cars running south on Fourth street, a 
hack line, fare twenty- five cents, runs to the Garden. 

BENTON PARK. 

Is three miles from the Court House in the 
southern part of the city. It contains fourteen acres . 
The site is well adapted by nature for park purposes. 
Its attractive walks and shades make it a place of 
pleasant resort for the residents of the vicinity, by

whom it is much frequented, Here was formerly 
the old city cemetery from which the bodies were 
removed in 1865, the park being established the 
following year. South St. Louis cars from Sixth 
and Market streets. 

CARONDELET PARK. 

Carondelet park is in Carondelet on Ninth 
street between Kansas and Loughborough avenues. 
It was established by Act of the State Legislature 
in 1874, by which two hundred thousand dollars 
was appropriated for its purchase and improve- 
ment. South St. Louis cars from Sixth and Market 
streets, or the Iron Mountain railway trains from 
Fourth and Chouteau avenue. 

CARR SQUARE, 

Between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets and 
Wash and Carr, embraces more than two acres. 
The site was presented to the city by Judge William 
C. Carr in 1842 on condition that it should always 
be used as a public square. It covers a piece of 
depressed ground which was for many years used 
as a receptacle for refuse, but which was afterwanl 
filled in and improved. Cable cars from Sixth and 
Locust streets. 

EXCHANGE SQUARE, 

On the river at Front and Warren Streets was 
presented to the city in 1816 to be used as a com- 
mons forever. Its location and surroundings have 
made it of little value for park purposes, and it lies 
unimproved and unattractive.

GAMBLE PLACE. 

Is the smallest piece of ground used for public 
park purposes in the city. It is little more than an 
acre in extent, and was opened as a park in 1875 at 
the expense of adjacent property owners, though it is 
now maintained by the city. It is between Gamble 
and Dickson streets, and Garrison and Glasgow 
avenues. This was formerly the site of a reservoir 
built in 1867 to temporarily supply the city with 
water, while the old Benton street reservoir was 
being cleaned. Franklin avenue cars. 

GRAVOIS PARK. 

In the southwest part of the city between Pontiac 
street and Kansas avenue, and Miami street and 
Louisiana avenue. It comprises eight and one- 
quarter acres. It has the advantage of large shade 
trees. The Union Depot line of cars from Fourth 
and Pine streets. 

HYDE PARK. 

This is an attractive pleasure ground with flowers, 
fountains and trees, much frequented by residents 
of the northern part of the city, and situated between

and Fourteenth streets, two miles and one-half 
northwest of the Court House. The ground included 
in it, twelve acres, was purchased by the city in 
1854. Take Union Depot line of cars from Fourth

Marion Place one block north. These plats of 
ground were presented to the city in 1816. Jackson 
Place was reserved for a public square, and the 
other two tracts devoted to school and church build- 
ings. 

LACLEDE PARK. 

A small reservation of about three acres, four 
and one- quarter miles south of the Court House, at 
Iowa avenue and Osage street, was reserved for 
park purposes in 1854. Little attention has been 
given to its improvement. South St. Louis cars 
from Sixth and Market streets. 

LYON PARK. 

The ten acres included in this park formerly 
belonged to the United States Arsenal grounds, and 
were granted to the city by Act of Congress in 1869 
on condition that a monument be erected to Gen. 
Nathaniel Lyon who was in command of the Arsenal 
at the time of the commencement of the War of the 
Rebellion. This monument was dedicated in 1874. 
On this spot Gen. Lyon made the first military 
preparations for the war that was made on the 
Union side in Missouri, and here organized his 
division for the Western Missouri campaign. The 
park is near the river on Broadway between Arsenal 
and Utah streets and is reached by Broadway line 
of cars going south. It is two and one-half miles 
south of the Court House.

O'FALLON PARK. 

This park commemorates the name of Col. John 
O' Fa) Ion, a public spirited and much respected 
citizen who died in 1865. It has a commanding 
position covering the slope of the bluff overlooking 
the river, the natural situation being, perhaps the 
finest of any of the city parks. Here was the 
O' Fallon residence. There is an oiiginal growth 
of forest trees which had been carefully preserved 
by the former owner. The park became the prop- 
erty of the city in 1875. It contains 159 acres. It 
is three and three- fourths miles north of the Court 
House, a short distance south of Bellefontaine Ceme- 
tery, and is reached by the Broadway cars going 
north, and the Baden extension from their terminus. 

ST. LOUIS PLACE. 

This is a long narrow strip of ground, fifteen 
acres in extent, Eighteenth street between Benton 
and Hebert. Much of the park is in a hollow, but 
it is well improved with walks, trees and flowers. 
The site was given to the city for a pleasure ground 
in 1848. Immediately south of the park was the 
location of the old reservoir used previous to the 
construction of the present water works system. 
Two miles northwest of the Court House. Mound

originally a part of the old Chouteau mill tract, and 
was purchased by the city in 1840, at a cost of twenty- 
five thousand dollars, "to be used as a public square 
forever." The removal of the choice residence 
part of the city to more remote quarters has with- 
drawn the gay and fashionable habitues who thronged 
its walks on pleasant evenings in years gone by.

Plan of the City- 



The city is laid off on a simple and regular plan. 
The east and west streets in the old central part 
were given the names of trees, as for instance, Chest- 
nut, Walnut, Olive, Locust, Elm and Myrtle. 
Afterward as new streets were opened, some of 
the early French pioneers were commemorated in 
the appellations of some of the thorough- fares as 
Chouteau avenue, Gratiot street and Cerre street. 
The north and south streets parallel with the river, 
except in the western part of the city, are designated 
by numbers instead of names, as Second street. 
Third street and Fourth streets. The city blocks 
are not uniform in size, but on an average sixteen 
blocks make a mile. One hundred house numbers 
are reckoned to the block, though there are few 
blocks in which they approach that figure ; the most 
do not exceed forty. In the east and west streets the 
numbers begin at the river. Second Street is 200, 
Third street is 300 and so on. In the north and 
south streets the numbers run from Market street. 
Walnut street, one block south of Market, is 100

Street, and South Fourth street is south of it. On 
this street are the Court House, Grand Opera House,

Franklin avenue is 900 north. Though not so 
fashionable a shopping street as Fourth, Fifth and 
Olive, it is lined for two miles with retail stores and 
business places. At Leffingwell avenue (2,800 
Easton avenue branches off to the northwest, and 
on this street the business houses are continued.

adorned by elegant mansions, handsome churches, 
and other costly buildings. A fine bridge across 
the Mill Creek valley is now in course of construc- 
tion, and when completed the northern and southern 
portions will be joined in one great highway. In 
the northern and northwest part of the city the 
Water Works, the Water Tower, Fair Grounds and 
Sportsman's Park are on this street, and in the south- 
west Tower Grove Park. 

VANDEVENTER PLACE, 

On the west side of Grand avenue above Frank- 
lin avenue, and extending three blocks to Vande- 
venter avenue deserves to be visited by those 
desirous of seeing a choice residence part of the 
city. It is not a public thoroughfare, and has 
rather the characteristics of a private park. 

DRIVES.

which have smooth asphalt pavements, to Grand 
avenue. From north Grand avenue the Fair 
Grounds can be reached, and by way of Florissant 
avenue, O' Fallon Park and Belief ontaine and Cal- 
vary cemeteries. Page avenue is a favorite drive 
west from Grand avenue to King's Highway, four 
miles west of the Court House, and thence through 
Forest Park. Tower Grove Park should be taken in 
in the southwest part of the city. There is no drive 
in the city more pleasant and attractive than through 
this park. Return from Tower Grove Park by

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. 

This building in which the Merchant's Exchange 
.transacts business is on Third street between Pine 
and Chestnut, occupying the greater part of the 
block. Its construction was begun in July, 1873, 
and it was completed in December, 1875. It is 
built of Warrensburg sandstone in the renaissance 
order of architecture, and its total cost, including 
the site, was one million, eight hundred thousand 
dollars. It has a frontage of two hundred and 
thirty-five feet by a depth of two hundred and eighty- 
seven. The grand staircase leading from the base- 
ment to the hall cost twenty-five thousand dollars. 
The Exchange Hall is one of the most spacious and 
splendid rooms in the country. It is two hundred 
and thirty -five feet in length, by ninety-eight in 
breadth, with a height of sixty-nine feet. The 
decoration of the ceiling is in the Venetian school 
of the sixteenth century, and deserves to be care- 
fully studied. In this hall met the Democratic 
National Convention of 1876, which nominated 
Samuel J. Tilden for the presidency, and on that 
occasion the floor was occupied by five thousand 
two hundred chairs, and contained at one time over 
ten thousand people. The Merchant's Exchange is 
an organization of St Louis merchants and business 
men in every branch of trade and comprises between 
three and four thousand members.

COTTON EXCHANGE. 

The Cotton Exchange building is a large iron 
and brick structure on the southwest corner of Main 
and Walnut streets, completed in 1882, and is used 
by members of the Cotton Exchange. St. Louis is 
one of the leading cotton markets of the United 
States. 

REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE. 

The Real Estate Exchange has a building on 
Seventh street between Market and Chestnut. The 
real estate agents of the city here display lists of 
property for sale or rent, and auction sales of real 
estate are here often made. 

MECHANICS EXCHANGE. 

The mechanics of St. Louis have a large and 
strong organization, and their Exchange is on the 
west side of Seventh street between Market and 
Chestnut. 

THE COURT HOUSE. 

The Court House occupies the block bounded by 
Broadway and Fourth, Market and Chestnut streets. 
This square of ground was selected in 1823, and was 
then described as situated "on the hill." From a 
much earlier period the ground had been the site of 
the whipping-post where the sheriff laid the "lashes 
on well, without fear or favor," according to his 
sworn duty till that means of punishment was 
abolished. The construction of the building began 
in 1852, and it was not completed till 1862, ten 
years afterward. It is of the Grecian- Doric order 
of architecture, and is built in the form of a Greek

beautiful. Its summit is one hundred and ninety- 
eight feet above the street. There is a tradition 
that from the dome a person with a strong glass can 
survey an area of more than three hundred square 
miles, extending beyond Kirkwood on the west, 
Carondelet on the south, up to Alton on the north, 
and to the east far out on the Illinois prairies, but 
the usual observer will find his vision limited to a 
much smaller range by the cloud of smoke which 
generally hangs over the east part of the city. The 
four paintings on the interior panels of the dome 
are by Wiemar, an artist of merit, and represent 
the discovery of the Mississippi by De Soto, the 
Landing of Laclede at the foot of Market Street in 
1764, the Indian attack of 1780, and a western land- 
scape and buffalo chase. 

Only the civil courts here hold their sessions. 
Besides the five divisions of the Circuit Court, there 
are the St. Louis Court of Appeals and Probate Court. 
The Law Library is also here, and the offices of the 
Circuit Clerk, Assessor, Collector, Recorder and 
Sheriff. The central office of the fire alarm depart-

MISSOURI SCHOOL OF MIDWIFERY, 

2020 N. NINTH STREET, 

Is now justly regarded as one of the most benefi- 
cent institutions of the city, and has well earned its 
position in the first rank of the Medical Colleges of 
Missouri, having graduated the great majority of 
those now practicing midwifery in this city and state, 
and many who have taken up the practice in other 
states. The importance of such an institution and 
of such an instruction as is there received, practi- 
cally as well as theorectically, can be best appreci- 
ated by those who have witnessed the suffering, 
long ill health and sometimes even death, resulting 
from lack of skill and knowledge on the part of 
those professing this difficult and delicate branch 
of medical science. In connection with the college 
is a lying-in-hospital so that students have the oppor- 
tunity of obtaining practical as well as theoretical 
instruction at the bedside. This is the most import- 
ant point to be considered as every one knows that 
a person may have a thorough theoretical knowledge 
of anything, and at the same time be practically 
ignorant of the whole business. It must not be 
infered from this however that the utmost privacy 
cannot be secured when desired. On the contrary 
ladies expecting to be confined can here secure the 
most comfortable quarters, the best medical treat- 
ment and care, with all the privacy their own homes 
would afford. The spring course begins the first 
Monday of March and the fall term begins the first 
Monday of September each year, and intending 
students should at once communicate with Mrs. Dr. 
S. S. Schierick at College building 2020 N. Ninth, 
a physician of unsurpassed skill and experience, 
whose knowledge of the healing art is equalled by 
but few.

HOUSE OF REFUGE. 

This is a reformatory school for j uvenile offenders . 
It is in the southern part of the city four miles from 
the Court House on Louisiana avenue, between 
Gasconade and Osage streets. The institution has 
upwards of two hundred inmates of whom about 
one- fourth are girls. The usual time of detention is 
about twenty months. The greater part are returned 
to parents and friends ; some are indentured to good 
homes, and others are released on good behavior. 

THE WORK HOUSE. 

This institution is between Broadway and the 
river at Meramec street. To this place are sent 
persons convicted of minor crimes, vagrancy and 
various offences, and an opportunity is given the 
prisoners to serve the city during their period of 
confinement. No partiality is shown to sex or 
color, but all are usefully employed. The common 
occupation of the men is breaking rock at the 
quarry on the work-house grounds, and while bend- 
ing over their unhappy fate at the rock pile, sentries 
armed with rifles and shot guns, pace to and fro to 
check any sudden aspirations the prisoners might

reservoir is on Compton Hill at Grand and Lafayette 
avenues, nearly three miles southwest of the Court 
House, on one of the highest points in the city, the 
reservoir having an elevation of one hundred and 
seventy- six feet above the city directrix. At Bis- 
sell's Point there are tour settling reservoirs, each 
six hundred feet long, two hundred and seventy 
feet wide, and fourteen deep, into which the water 
is pumped from the river, by three engines, two of 
which have a capacity of eighteen million gallons 
each per day, and the other twenty-four million 
gallons. Each of the four reservoirs holds about 
eighteen million gallons. While one is being filled, 
in another the water is settling, from a third one it 
is being drawn off, while the fourth is being cleaned 
and made ready to be filled in its turn. The water 
settles in twenty-four hours. After the water is 
settled another set of engines forces it through the 
mains to the storage reservoirs on Compton Hill 
whence it is distributed over the city The Comp- 
ton Hill reservoir is eight hundred feet long, two 
hundred and fifty feet wide, and twenty-four feet 
deep, and holds sixty million gallons. The supply 
main between the pumping station and the Comp- 
ton Hill reservoir is laid along Grand avenue and 
consists of eighteen thousand feet of thirty-six 
inch pipe, and seven thousand feet of thirty inch 
pipe, in all, nearly five miles. At various points 
lines of twenty inch pipe connect the Grand avenue 
main with the distributing system. 

THE WATER TOWER. 

To relieve the strain on the engines at the pump- 
ing station of the Water Works, is a stand pipe at 
^ ^

Fourteenth street and Grand avenue. This stand 
pipe is five feet in diameter, and one hundred and 
sixty feet in height. It is enclosed in a brick shaft 
in the interior of which is a spiral stair case leading 
to an observatory at the top, from which a magni- 
ficent view of the city and adjoining country can be 
had. A new stand pipe nearer the river was also 
erected in 1885. The Benton- Belief ontaine street 
car line runs to the Water Tower. 

MERCANTILE LIBRARY. 

The Mercantile Library is at the corner of Broad- 
way and Locust streets. It was founded in 1846. 
Tke present building was completed and occupied 
in 1864, and at the time of building was regarded 
as one of the handsomest edifices in the city. A 
new building on the present site is now in contem- 
plation. The library contains upwards of sixty- five 
thousand volumes. A large reading room is well 
supplied with the periodical literature of the day. 
There are also in the rooms a number of paintings, 
curiosities and works of art. There are two statues 
in marble, (Enone and Beatrice Cenci, by Harriet 
Hosmer, and marble busts of Burns and Scott. 
The library is open to visitors, and strangers in the 
city, on introduction of members, receive a card 
entitling them to the privileges of the library and 
reading room one month. 

PUBLIC LIBRARY. 

The Public Library, formerly Public School 
Library, is in the O 'Fallon Polytechnic building on 
the southwest corner of Seventh and Chestnu^ 
streets. The society was iucorporated in 1865. In

St. Louis Guide. 



1869 the library came under the entire control of 
the Board of Public Schools. Rapid progress has 
been made in the accumulation of books, and the 
library now is very full and complete, numbering 
about sixty thousand volumes. The charges for 
membership are very low, and the reading room is 
free to all persons. Those not members are also 
allowed to take books for reading in the rooms with- 
out charge. The library is open on Sunday. 

THE MISSOURI HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 

Has a library of about five thousand volumes, a 
large number of archaelogical specimens, and many 
historical relics and curiosities. Meets in Court 
House. 

LAW LIBRARY. 

The Law Library is in the south wing of the 
Court House. It is an extensive collection of works 
of legal learning numbering over ten thousand 
volumes, and is much patronized by the lawyers of 
the city to whom its membership is exclusively 
confined. Any member of the legal profession out" 
side of St. Louis city and county has the privilege 
of using the books. 

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOOCI- 
ATION. 

The building of this organization is at Twenty 
ninth and Pine streets. A reading room, library, 
gymnasium and other features make it an attractive 
place to visitors, and young men, strangers in the 
city, are warmly welcomed.

MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS. 

Occupies a fine structure on Lucas place and 
Nineteenth street, built by Wayman Crow in com- 
memoration of his son who died in England in 
1878, and conveyed by deed to Washington Univer- 
sity. The building was dedicated in 1881. There 
is a fine collection of paintings and other works of 
art. A large and handsome lecture room is known 
as Memorial Hall. Admission twenty-five cents. 

FIRE DEPARTMENT. 

The Fire Department headquarters are at No. 6 
Engine House on Seventh street between Pine and 
Olive. It requires tweny-five steam engines, six 
hook and ladder apparatus, about one hundred and 
seventy horses, and more than two hundred and 
fifty men to fight the fires that are continually 
breaking out. These appliances are stationed at 
different localities, so as to afford the best protection 
to property. The number of fire alarms each year 
is nearly six hundred. The department has reached 
a high degree of efliciency. Great promptness is 
shown in answering an alarm, and the horses rush- 
ing at full gallop along the street drawing after 
them the ponderous engines from which fly the 
smoke and sparks, is a sight at which the ' 'oldest 
citizen" shows an interest. 

JEFFERSON BARRACKS. 

This is a United States military post, occupied 
by a detachment of the regular army, and situated 
on the river nine miles below the city. It is acces- 
sible by the Iron Mountain Railroad trains, and is a 

I; ii - ' y 



St. Louis Guide. 

pleasant place to visit in summer. The site rises 
gradually from the river, and commands a fine 
view of the Mississippi. The construction of the 
buildings began in 1826. Before the Mexican war 
this place was the great rendezvous for the troops 
in the West, and from this point distributions of 
men and munitions of war were made to frontier 
garrisons. Many important military and exploring 
expeditions were here fitted out, and many officers 
who afterward became distinguished commanders 
in both the Union and Confederate armies, were at 
times stationed here. The grounds contain seven- 
teen hundred and two acres. On one portion is a 
national cemetery, kept with great care, and a 
beautiful resting place for the dead. The remains 
of over ten thousand soldiers lie here, chiefly those 
who died during the War of the Rebellion. The 
parade ground is adorned with trees and flowers. 
The stone houses, built more than half a century 
ago, are in an excellent state of preservation. 

GYMNASIUM. 

On St. Charles street between Eighth and Ninth 
streets. The institution has many members and is 
well supplied with all the appliances for physical 
development. 

THE ARMORY. 

Is a large brick building, at Seventeenth and 
Pine streets, two hundred feet front by one hundred 
and nine feet in depth, built in 1882, and occupied 
by the militia organizations of the city. A large 
arena, seventy-four by one hundred and thirty-five 
feet, is used for calvary and artillery drill.

NATATORIUM. 

At the corner of Nineteenth and Fine streets is 
the Natatorium or Swimming school, much patron- 
ized during the hot summer months, by those whose 
business engagements or pecuniary resources do not 
allow a trip to seaside resorts. 

MARKETS. 

The leading market is Union Market, between 
Broadway, Sixth street, Lucas avenue and Morgan 
street. On Saturdays especially it is a busy place, 
and thousands here obtain their supplies for the 
Sunday dinner. It occupies the whole block. 

Biddle Market is on Thirteenth street between 
Biddle and O' Fallon. Sturgeon Market is at Broad- 
way and North Market streets. 

City. Market, or as it is better known, the Round 
Top Market, is at Broadway and Biddle streets. It 
is called the "Round Top" Market from the style 
of the architecture of the roof. 

The French Maiket is on Convent street at the 
junction of Broadway and Fourth street. This 
part of the city has retained, perhaps, the marks 
and characteristics of the early French population, 
more closely than any other, and hence the name. 

CEMETERIES. 

Belief ontaine Cemetery, on North Broadway, 
four miles and a half from the Court House, is well 
worth a visit. It occupies the slope and summit of 
the river bluff (here a gentle rise of ground), is 
more thickly wooded than is usual with cemeteries, 
and a more beautiful resting place for the dead

could not well be selected. It was opened in 
1850; but many bodies were reinterred herefrom 
the older graveyards. There are many splendid 
monuments. On the stones maybe read the names 
of the men, merchants, lawyers, physicians and 
business men, who, added to the City's growth and 
greatness. " After life's fitful fever they sleep 
well." The grounds comprise about four hundred 
acres. Take Broadway cars going north, and the 
extension cars (fare 10 cents) from the terminus of 
Broadway line. 

Calvary Cemetery is the Catholic burying ground. 
It adjoins Belief ontaine Cemetery on the north, and 
is reached by same lines of cars. Interments in this 
cemetery began in 1854. The grounds are attractive, 
and like Bellefontaine, it is the resting place of 
many distinguished dead. There are a number of 
smaller cemeteries in the vicinity of the city. 

THEATRES. 

The Grand Opera House is on Market street, 
between Broadway and Sixth street. On its site 
was the old Varieties Theatre, built in 1851. In 
1873 it became known as De Bar's Opera House, 
and afterward by its present name. The old struc- 
ture was torn away and a nevi;^ building erected in 
1881. This was destroyed by fire in December, 
1884, and the present structure erected in 1885. 

The Olympic Theatre is on Broadway, between 
Walnut and Elm street, opposite the Southern Ho- 
tel. The old theatre building, on this site, was 
erected in 1866, and first used for variety perform- 
ances. It was opened for the legitimate drama in

tre in 1879. 

The People's Theatre is on the south- WRSt cor- 
ner of Walnut and Sixth streets, and was built in 
1881. 

The Standard Theatre is at Seventh and Walnut 
streets, and was opened in 1883. 

The Pickwick is a Theatre on Washington ave- 
nue, west of Jefferson avenue, in which occasional 
performances are held. It is the head quarters for 
society amateur theatrial entertainments. 

Uhrig's Cave, on the south-west corner of Jef- 
ferson and Washington avenues, is a summer gar- 
den theatre. The performances are usually the 

best of comic opera, and the attendance is from 
the best classes. 

RAIL ROAD DEPOTS. 

Union Depot, where nearly all passenger trains 

arrive and depart, is at Eleventh and Poplar streets, 

nearly three-quarters of a mile from the Court 

House, and is reached by the Union Depot line of 

cars from Fourth and Pine streets. 

The Main Street Depot is on Main street, north 

of Washington avenue, at west end of the bridge 

All passenger trains going to or coming from the 

Union Depot, stop here. It is often a convenient 

place to stop for persons without baggage who have 

business in this part of the city; but passengers 

should generally go to the Union Depot, where all 

baggage is delivered and where better means of

communication with different parts of the city can 
be found. On taking the train at Main street five 
minutes can be allowed from the starting time at 
Union Depot, but no ticket can be purchased here 
or baggage checked. 

Fourth and Chouteau avenue is the starting 
place for local accommodation trains on the Iron 
Mountain road for Carondelet and Jefferson Bar- 
racks. Take cars running south on Fourth street. 

A few local accommodation trains on the Wabash, 
St. Louis & Pacific railway leave from Vine street

passenger fare is five cents. The ferry landings are 
at the foot of North Market street, Carr street 
Poplar street, Chouteau avenue, Anna street and 
Davis street. 

STEAMBOATS.

conspicuous building in the city, h the Belcher 
Sugar Refinery at Main and Ashle}' streets, one 
mile north of the Court House. It has thirteen 
floors, and is one hundred and thirty-two feet in 
height. Near this building is an artesian well,

PARADE OF THE FLAMBEAU BATTALION. 



Ful/ Description and Programme of the PARADE OF 
THE GREAT FLAMBEAU BATTALION, which ta/ces 
place during the Knights Templar Triennial Con- 
clave at St. Louis. Two Hundred and Fifty Torch- 
Bearers in Line — Grand Display of Fire -Works on 
the Streets. 



The organization of a Flambeau Battalion in St. 
Louis was the result of a set of curious circumstances, 
and the magnificent manner in which its organiza- 
tion is being perfected must be very gratifying to 
those to whom its inception should be credited. 

When the management of the St. Louis Trades 
Display Association were casting about them last 
year for something new and novel to tickle the 
insatiable maw of the great public that annually 
visits St. Louis during the fall festivities, some 
wild and reckless enthusiast suggested the bringing 
of a Flambeau Club to St. Louis, and making it the 
closing climax of the greatest exhibition ever 
attempted by the Trades Display Association. 

The suggestion "caught on," and overtures were 
at once made to the then prominent clubs of the 
country, the Atchison and Topeka Flambeau Clubs. 
The latter was finally billed for the event. 

The energy and generosity of the friends of the 
movement kept pace with its popularity, and a large 
amount of money was contributed to carry it out in a 
magnificent manner. All of the athletic societies

St. Louis Guide. 

in the city were invited to take part, and to add a 
greater feature to the affair, the Atchison Flambeau 
Club was also invited to participate. 

Wednesday, October 8, 1885, during Fair week, 
the parade took place; and it was a paralyzer, in 
fact it was the tinest display of fire- works ever 
made in this countiy, the rivalry between Atchison 
and Topeka being so great that the former club, 
having as it did the first parade to make, made the 
pace so fast that on the following night, when the 
Topeka Club paraded with the Trades Display 
Association, although doing a fine piece of work, 
they appeared to make a complete failure. 

After the success of the first display of the 
Athletic Parade Association it was but natural that 
a permanent organization be suggested, and at a 
meeting held at the Elk's club room, soon after, 
this idea was carried into eSect. On October 22, 
application was made to the Circuit Court for a 
decree of incorporation of the Athletic Parade 
Association and St. Louis Flambeau Battalion, and 
the same was granted, and on November Gth, the 
Secretary of State issued the certificate for same. 

In organizing the Flambeau Battalion, it was 
thought absolutely necessary to have six companies 
in it to carry out the plan of work expected from it, 
and the same were designated, from the duties 
required of them, the Pike Company, the Flambeau 
Company, the Roman Candle Company, the Mortar 
Battery, the Rocket Company and the Rifle Com- 
pany. 

The uniform adopted for the various companies 
will make a beautiful display.

The uniform of the Pike Company will be green 
granite-gray coats and light gray pants, with red 
trimmings, top boots aad white helmets. This 
company will carry long pikes, and will lead the 
advance of the Flambeau Battalion, clearing the 
way. The men are the pride of Capt. Mitchell, all 
of them being over six feet in height. 

The second company is the Flambeau, and is 
uniformed in white duck linen suits and white hel- 
mets with old-gold belt, and is assigned to duty on 
each side of the street, the full length of the pro- 
cession, marching thirty feet apart. This company ^ 
handles the flambeaux and sends sheets of chemical 
flame in any direction fifty or sixty feet, making a 
grand but harmless display. The company require 
two wagons to carry their extra flambeaux during 
the arade. 

The next company — the Roman Candle — is als^ 
dressed in white linen duck suits,with white helmets 
and blue belts. Their position in line of march is 
alternated with the Flambeau Company, on each 
side of the street, and extending the length of the 
entire parade. Their work is the firing of Koman 
candles, torpedoes and other light fire-works and 
they also have two ammunition wagons in the parade 
carrying material for their use. 

The Mortar Battery which comes next is uni- 
formed in white linen duck suits with red belts and 
white helmets, and their work ia fast and furious 
from the start to the come-in. The battery is com- 
posed of four mortars, and they occupy the center 
of the parade each mortar being manned by eight 
men and in command of an officer. From the picture 
of the mortar wagons, it will be seen how careful 

;^ «

the management of the battalion have been in 
making them strong and safe, and no fears need be 
entertained of a repetition of the explosions of last 
year. 

The Rocket Company is Company E, and like 
the other three companies of the fire section, is 
dressed in white linen duck suits, white helmets, 
and red, white and red belts. The company is 
divided into four platoons, which take positions 
about one hundred feet apart and fire rockets from 
their peculiar -shaped funnels incessantly during 
the display. It requires four rocket wagons to 
carry the necessary rockets for an ordinary proces- 
sion, each wagon having a capacity of ten dozen. 
These wagons are very peculiar in construction, and 
are modeled on the plan of a tubular boiler, each 
having a separate tube, and making accidents from 
explosion in moving impossible. 

The Rifle Company closes the procession and is 
faced rearward, keeping back the surging crowd and 
firing continuous volleys of musketry. They look 
like veterans, their uniforms being dark blue blouse 
and light blue pants, with lighter blue trimmings 
and white. 

Some idea can be formed of the grand spectacle 
that is in store when this great organization appears 
on our streets, covering, as it will, over three blocks, 
and having more than 250 men in its ranks, besides 
about 120 attendants drawing the twelve wagons and 
serving the ammunition to the men. 

The noise is so great from the bursting of bombs, 
hissing of rockets and firing of muskets that it is 
impossible to convey orders other than by bugle.

and the Major of the battalion will give his com- 
mands by bugle note, and the buglers of each 
company will repeat the same down the line. 

By special request of the committee having in 
charge the Knights Templar Conclave, the Flam- 
beau Battalion has consented to appear during the 
triennial week ; probably the evening of September 
24 will be decided on as the night of the Flam- 
beau parade.
